Susan Miller, PhD, LPCS, NCC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Dr. Miller offers counseling for those who are suffering from addictions. Whether the addiction lies with substance abuse (alcohol and other drugs), eating disorders (binge/purge/food issues: emotional eating) or even enmeshment to another kind of habit or person, our therapists provide a safe and confidential environment seeking to help the client heal. We do not participate in Substance Abuse Treatment (drug screens etc).

Sexual and porn addictions mean that these behaviors are getting in the way of your full potential or disrupting your relationship. Your work or career may even be in jeopardy if you have been caught at the office. Often, we see porn use result in sexual dysfunctions like erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation or delayed ejaculation. Recovery mean discovery the emptiness inside that is filled with the temporarily exciting behavior or thinking through why sexual autonomy feels safer. We also run support groups for spouses of addicts to deal with shame and isolation and help discover healthy ways of relating.

 Eating disorders: While in counseling, the combination of support from loved ones, your medical doctor, a qualified nutritionist and psychiatrist can produce the best outcomes. Each treatment plan is customized to the unique situation. Recovery is about learning to say to you body “I want to be your friend.” As you learn emotional regulation, identify triggers and cultivate distress tolerance, the issue will no longer be the intruder who has held you hostage. Now is the time to start taking your life back!

Tammy Holcomb, LPCS, CEDS, NBCCH

Licensed Professional Counselor

I work from a biopsychosocial model of addiction. I have clients who have benefited tremendously from a twelve step based abstinence model and those who have found other models that suited them better. I have had clients come into therapy to work on issues related to substance abuse, sexual addiction, co-dependency, eating disorders, compulsive self harm, shoplifting, and other process addictions. I use a trauma informed approach to help them develop a plan of action to decrease these addictive behaviors and learn to live a more mindful self aware lifestyle.
Frequently, families cannot get the addicted loved one into treatment. I enjoy working with families to plan ways to intervene.

Licensed Professional Counselor

Couples in recovery have special needs as they forge a life of sobriety together. Learn what to expect and develop tools to avoid common pitfalls faced by couples in recovery. Whether one or both of you are in recovery, you can make sure you know what to do as you move forward in your recovery together. If you are comparing your relationship to that of couples not facing the issues of sobriety, you are missing critical perspective. Gain helpful perspective together through counseling.

Eve Cribbs, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I've had extensive training and experience with addiction treatment. I now specialize in eating disorders and find that many of my clients have been recovering for some time from alcohol/drugs before being ready to address and resolve their addiction to food. I have come to know that food is a drug most available early in our lives and thus, if used to manage mood and escape the pain of our childhood, takes on the same nature as the chemical addiction. The recovery, because of needed regular contact, calls for a different approach. I don't use the abstinence model because of the resistance and weight -loss focus. I use the non-diet and intuitive eating/movement approach in my program.

Lindsay Patterson, MSW, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I have additional education in addiction counseling/treatment and my approach is warm, compassionate, and non-confrontational. If you think you have a substance use disorder or other addiction, my services may be of benefit to you. Outpatient therapy is often used in conjunction with other services such as 12-step meetings, intensive out-patient, etc. I welcome anyone who thinks they may have any form of addiction.

Tina Lepage, Psy.D.

CEO of Group Psychology & Psychiatry Practice Serving the Triangle for Over 10 Years; Licensed Psychologist

Addiction therapy is a sub-specialty area in psychology, and thus many therapists do not treat addiction. At Lepage Associates we have psychologists who specialize in addiction therapy. In addition, one of our psychologists also works as a research psychologist in the field of addiction, researching which therapeutic interventions are most effective in treating substance abuse. As an active international research scientist, she has authored numerous journal articles, scholarly papers, and book chapters on the assessment and treatment of substance abuse, trauma, risky sexual behaviors, and violence, and increasing motivation for self-care and self-improvement.

I do not do addition counseling. It is outside my area of expertise. But I will say that I often see someone is a couple who denies being an alcoholic despite reporting behavior that surely sounds like an addiction. The way I approach this is to ask him to "prove to me" that he or she is not addicted by not drinking for a full week (or two). If they can do this, then I conclude that we are not dealing with an addiction, but rather with something else.
